Hi,
I'm trying to change our backup-server from OpenVZ to kvm with an new SAS Jukebox (4 lto-6 drives plus changer device).
The drives can be provided, but the changer gives an error:
Looks that kvm think all scsi-devices must be an disk?!
The howto http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Tape_Drives looks much to old.
My VM-config:
The last resort was the installation of bareos-sd (or bacula-sd) on the host, but I would avoid the traffic for 4 lto-6 drives (can be +500MB/s) through an additional network-bridge.
Any hints?
